I was sitting lazily on my porch swing, my duffle bag just lying a few feet away. It was a hot day, my bare legs were sticking to the metal seat of the swing.
I let my head fall back, letting my hair flow though the sudden gust of wind. It was the first day of spring break. It was also the day that a select few of my friends and I were travelling up north to Roger's cottage.
I lifted my smooth legs in the air and pushed myself higher in the swing.
"Hey dollface!" I heard Mike call.
I opened my eyes and lowered my sunglasses. Mike was leaning his head out of the window of his minivan. I could see Sheryl, Craig, Alexis and Roger also seated inside the vehicle. I peeled my legs off of the swing, grabbed my duffle, and leaped for the car.I walked up to Mike's open window and pulled at his shirt collar teasingly.
"What do you mean 'dollface'?"
He smirked, pulling me into the window and nuzzling my neck. "Ah nothing Beth. Just get your cute butt in the car."
I smiled, gushing at the fact that i hadn't wasted two hours trying to figure out what were the best shorts to wear.
I slid open the side door and crowded in, settling in the middle seat beside Craig and Sheryl. I tossed my duffle in the trunk and then buckled my seatbelt.
"Safety first." Craig smirked, pulling my belt tight against my lap.
I flicked his nose and then wiped at my sweating forehead.
"Gosh, could we get some AC back here? Craig stinks!"
Everyone in the van chuckled, besides Craig.The air turned on as Mike pulled out of my driveway. He sped down my street, and soon we were on the highway.
~*_*~
Two hours passed, us sitting in the cramped van joking around and poking each other.
It wasn't until Alexis let us all know that she had to relieve liquid from her bladder that we finally stopped.
We were in a small run down town. Something out of a horror movie or whatever.
We all piled out of the van as Mike went to go get gas, the next street over.
"Well that doesn't look creepy." Sheryl muttered, pulling her knitted shirt lower across her stomach.
We stood infront of a general store that was basically looming at us. It had several broken windows, it's front door crooked and the welcome sign not looking welcome at all.
"Well Alexia?" Roger asked, looking away from the ugly store to her.
She blinked bewildered at him. "Yeah?"
"Aren't you going to go ask for a restroom?"
Alexis let out a frightened squeak as she looked back at the store. "I'm not going in there!"
Craig and Sheryl both let out halfhearted laughs. I grabbed Alexis's arm and then started dragging her to the store. It may look scary, but the sooner she got to a restroom the faster we could get the hell out of here.
The door opened with a chime, letting the owner know a customer had entered.An old lady shuffled behind the large teller's counter and looked us over behind her large glasses.
"You folk lost?" She had a heavy texan drawl that made it hard to understand but it got the jist.
"No ma'am. But we were wondering if by any chance you had a restroom we could use?"
The lady grunted, starting to walk back to the office room behind a large drapery of dusty curtains, muttering profanities to herself.Alexis and i stared after her, gawking.
"Well that couldn't have gotten weirder." Alexis whispered, tightening her grip on my hand. "Come on, i can hold it until we get to Roger's."
I nodded, still not looking away from the door the lady went into.
Alexis shook me, and i pursed my lips. We walked out of the general store fast.
I was looking down at my feet, making sure i didn't trip on the gravel lawn.Then i felt a chill behind me,I looked back, training my eyes on one of the broken windows. There the old lady was standing, watching us leave. I felt a shudder run down my spine, I turned back around so we could get away faster.
"Um Beth?"
"Yeah?" I looked up and noticed what Alexis was worried about.
"Where's Craig and Sheryl!?" She squeaked.
